This delightful community boasts access to amenities that include clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, community boat ramp, and trails. The pool is open from mid-May to mid-October, from 8am - 8pm for you to enjoy. While you're there, step into the clubhouse with its large living area with TV, streaming services of Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+. The community center also has an efficiency kitchen with a refrigerator, toaster oven and sink. There is also a small fitness room, restrooms, a landline phone, and Wi-Fi.

If all these amenities are not quite enough, let us also introduce you to the Outfitter's Center. Located near the Outfitter's Cottages, it is a large screened-in wood building with a double sided stone wood burning fireplace and seating inside and on the back deck. There is charcoal park grill there that you are welcome to use. The kayaks are located on the left side of the center and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can follow the pier behind the Outfitter's center to the kayak launch. You will launch your kayaks into Mill Creek there. It's about a 1 mile paddle to the mouth of the river.

There is also a boat ramp located towards the riverfront where you can launch your boat. A parking area for your boat and trailer is adjacent to the ramp. You will need to sign a waiver in order to get the access code and parking passes prior to your arrival.

Perfect Mini Vacation
This was my nephews wedding weekend in New Bern, a lovely weekend it was. My son, his fiancée, my sister, brother-in-law and myself stayed here. Everything was in working order and neat. What was perfect was the large front and back porches, the quiet serene setting and the friendly neighbors. I have a high stress job and this was exactly what I needed to decompress. I hope to come back soon!

Great place for a family
The area is very rural. Great get away from the hustle and bustle. The ferry ride to Ocean Isle was great. The town of Oriental is a quaint nice little town. We enjoyed the Brewery and talking to the locals!
